About Folsom Lake College


Main Folsom campusIn 1967, the Los Rios Community College District (LRCCD) aquired a 151-acre parcel of land to be preserved for a future college. At its inception in 1991, Folsom Lake Center began operation at the current site in Folsom as a center of Cosumnes River College. In Fall 1992, the state Board of Governors and the California Postsecondary Education Commission approved the Folsom Lake site as the fourth college of the LRCCD. In Spring 1993, classes were first offered in portables at the main campus site. The first permanent building, Aspen Hall/FL1, opened in 2001.

Due to tremendous growth of the Folsom region, the facilities quickly expanded to keep up with demand for quality education. Currently, the beautiful campus includes over 200,000 square feet of state-of-the-art instructional space; an enormous library and computer lab for student use; the Falcon’s Roost, the hub of student life on campus; physical education and athletics facilities and fields; and the renowned Harris Center for the Arts.

Construction update: Over summer 2013, the first phase of the athletic facilities complex opened at the Folsom campus providing students with new track and field, baseball, softball, and soccer fields. In alignment with Los Rios Community College District’s commitment of putting “community” back into community college, these fields will be made available for community use. The second phase, a cross country course, interpretive trail, and a 9-court tennis complex are slated for completion in Spring 2014, which will complete the athletics complex. Construction of a new gymnasium began in July 2013 and is expected to open in spring 2015.

One of the instructional buildings at theEl Dorado Center in Placerville

Aspen Hall at the Main Folsom campus

El Dorado CenterFolsom Lake College’s El Dorado Center was established in the mid-1960s as a state-funded education center and was located in several portable buildings on El Dorado County land next to the county fairgrounds. Because of the continued enrollment growth at the center, and the keen interest and desire of the citizens of the Greater Placerville area to have a permanent community college center in Placerville, the Los Rios Community College District Board of Trustees authorized the purchase of approximately 19 acres of land from the El Dorado County Board of Education. The site was approved by the California Community Colleges and the State of California for a permanent site in 1988.

Construction of the first phase of permanent facilities was completed in the spring of 1994 and opened for classes in August 1994. A physical education building was completed and opened for classes in January 1999. An additional parking lot opened in Fall 2003. A second instructional building that completed the center’s build-out was opened in Spring 2006.

The El Dorado Center serves the educational needs of those working and living on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada in El Dorado and adjoining counties. More than 2,500 students attend the El Dorado Center. The facility has state-of-the-art science labs and a fitness center, and has been recognized with a statewide architectural award of excellence. The center offers a


full range of transfer and vocational programs as well as student support services. The center is well positioned to meet the educational needs of the area’s growing population.

Construction update: At the El Dorado Center, an expansion and remodel of the student services area is expected to begin in January 2014. Students will have increased space in which to gather and office space is being remodeled to better accommodate the needs of students.

The entrance to the Rancho Cordova Center

Rancho Cordova CenterThe Rancho Cordova Center, an outreach center operated by Folsom Lake College, is located just minutes south of Highway 50 and 10 miles east of downtown Sacramento. The center was developed in response to the growing number of residents in this service area.

The center offers a comprehensive English as a Second Language curriculum, as well as a range of general education, computer science, physical education, administration of justice, and business courses. Alternative course delivery options, including online and televised courses, are available.

The center also provides a variety of support services to assist students in achieving their educational goals.

Construction update: In July 2013, demolition began at the future permanent site of the Rancho Cordova Center near Mather Field road along Highway 50. Regional transit lines will provide easy access to the new center. Classes are projected to transition to the new site in fall 2015.

College and Academic Regulations


Course Repetition Where Substandard Grade is RecordedWhere a student has received a substandard grade in a course taken at a college, a student may repeat that course up to a maximum of two (2) times in an effort to alleviate the substandard academic grade. Substandard grade is defined as a notation of D, F, NC (No Credit), NP (No Pass), or W (Withdrawal). This regulation is effective across the District at all Los Rios colleges.

The grade and credits earned in the final enrollment shall be used exclusively in determining the grade points earned for that particular course. (Cal. Code Regs., Title 5, section 55042)

Repeatable CoursesCourses taken, earning a grade of C or better cannot be repeated. There are, however, certain specialized courses that are designated as “repeatable” and are listed as such in the course description. These include: • Courses for which repetition is necessary to meet the major requirements of CSU or UC for completion of a bachelor’s degree.• Intercollegiate athletics and their related conditioning courses may be repeated to meet requirements for CCCCAA eligibility.• Intercollegiate academic or vocational competition courses with the primary purpose to prepare students for competition.• Variable unit courses that are open entry/exit such as math, reading and writing laboratory courses; students may re-enroll in these courses as many times as necessary to complete one time the entire curriculum of the course.• Work Experience courses, which can be taken again when there is new or expanded learning on the job for a maximum of sixteen units.

Repetition Absent Substandard GradesUnless a specific exception applies, a student who has received a satisfactory grade shall not repeat the course. Satisfactory grade is defined as A, B, C, P (Pass), or CR (Credit). There are special circumstances that allow for repetition; however, the student must submit a Petition requesting the course repetition. These include:• Students may repeat a course where a course is required by a statute or regulation as a condition of continued paid or volunteer employment, or as a result of a significant change in industry or licensure standards such that repetition is necessary for employment or licensure. These repetitions are not limited and are granted based on the college’s verification of established legal mandates. (Cal. Code Regs., Title 5, section 55040)

institution of higher education, may elect to meet the requirements in effect at the Los Rios college from which the student intends to graduate, in one of three ways:

1. Requirements in effect at the time of admission to a Los Rios college, or

2. Requirements in effect at the time the student originally enrolled in an accredited college or university, or

3. Requirements in effect at the intended date of graduation from a Los Rios college.

Please note:• A college may authorize or request substitution

for discontinued courses.• Students changing their major field of study may

be required to complete those requirements for the major in effect at the point of change.

• For purposes of this section, “attendance” means taking classes in at least one session (i.e. quarter, semester, or summer session) in each calendar year. Absence for attendance at another accredited institution shall not be considered an interruption in attendance. (Board Policy P-7252)

ChangeofAddress/NameStudents must report a change of address immediately to the Admissions & Records office using a Change of Student Data form (or submit the change online via eServices at www.losrios.edu). Folsom Lake College cannot be responsible for misdirected mail if the address change is not provided by the student.

Requests to have a student’s name changed are submitted directly to the Admissions & Records office. In order for this type of request to be processed, documentation (such as marriage license, court documents, or naturalization papers) is required in order to verify a legal name change.

Students can submit birth date and social security number corrections to the Admissions & Records office along with proper documentation (official birth certificates, social security verification, etc.). Contact the Admissions & Records office for additional information.

Course Repetition and Repeatability Regulations

Repetition of courses must be conducted by all California community colleges in compliance with California Title V Regulations, Sections 55040 through 55046.


• Students may repeat a course if the college that there has been a significant lapse of time since the first grade was obtained, and:

o If the college has a properly established recency prerequisite for a course or program (Cal. Code Regs., Title 5, section 55043).

o If the college finds that another institution of higher education to which the student seeks to transfer has established a recency requirement which the student shall not be able to satisfy without repeat the course in question (Cal. Code Regs., Title 5, section 55043).

• The college finds that the student’s most recent previous grade is, at least in part, the result of extenuating circumstances. Extenuating circumstances are verified cases of accident, illness, or other circumstances beyond the student’s control. This is a one-time exception.• A special course that can be repeatable by petition so that a particular student can be approved to repeat it as a disability-related accommodation.

Limitations on Active Participatory CoursesActive participatory courses are those courses where individual study or group assignments are the basic means by which learning objectives are obtained. These include kinesiology/physical education (PE) active participatory courses, as well as visual and performing arts active participatory courses (theatre arts, music and art). Some courses in these categories are related in content and have been placed in groups that the Los Rios colleges are calling families of courses. Each family of courses allows for skill development beyond an introductory level.

Students are limited to taking a maximum of four courses in any one family across all four Los Rios colleges, regardless of how many courses there are; sometimes a family of courses may include more than four. For example, the Modern Dance Technique family of courses across the four Los Rios colleges includes five courses – DANCE 330 through DANCE 334 (Modern Dance I, II, III, IV, and V).

In addition, if a student gets a sub-standard grade (a notation of D, F, NC (No Credit), NP (No Pass), or W (Withdrawal)) in any course within a family, the sub-standard grade counts as one of the four course limitations in the family. The list of families of courses is available in the Counseling Office at each college. Please consult with a counselor for more information.

CourseTimeConflict/CourseOverlapStudents may not enroll in two classes that meet during part of the same hour except through a petition process. Student must state their justification for enrolling in the overlapping class, and instructors must indicate how the missed time will be made up (as per Title 5 section 58031).

DismissalAcademicDismissal:A student on Academic Dismissal is subject to dismissal when the student earns a cumulative grade point average of less than 2.0 in all units attempted in each of three consecutive semesters.ProgressDismissal:A student on Progress Dismissal is subject to dismissal if one half or more of the units in which the student has been enrolled have recorded entries of “W”, “I”, “NC”, and “NP” in at least three consecutive semesters.

Appeal Option: Per Los Rios Board policy R-2231, students who are dismissed will be notified of their status in writing (through transcript notation and email) and must meet with a counselor to petition for readmission (including development of a Student Educational Plan).Any changes or updates to Los Rios Board policy can be obtained at: www.losrios.edu/legal/GCpolreg.htm

Final ExaminationsThe college requires final examinations in all courses. The college publishes a time schedule for final examinations early in each semester so students may be notified in sufficient time regarding the examination schedule.

Good StandingIn determining a student’s eligibility to acquire or remain in good standing at Folsom Lake College, both quality of performance and progress toward completion of objectives are considered. A student who completes 12 or more semester units, earns a 2.0 GPA on a 4.0 grading scale, and completes more than 50 percent of all enrolled units, merits good standing with the college. Students in good standing are limited to 18 units per semester. In exceptional cases, a student may initiate a petition with a counselor to exceed the 18-unit limit.

Grades and Grade Point AveragesAt the end of each semester or summer session, a report of academic performance is made for every course undertaken. The grading standards, with their grade point equivalents, are as follows:


A – Excellent 4 grade points per unitB – Good 3 grade points per unitC – Satisfactory 2 grade points per unitD – Passing, less than satisfactory 1 grade point per unitF – Failing 0 grade points, no

units earnedP – Pass Not computed in GPA, but (C or better) affects progress probation and dismissal

NP – No Pass Not computed in GPA, but (less than C) affects progress probation and dismissal

I – Incomplete Not computed in GPA, but affects progress probation and dismissal

W – WithdrawalNot computed in GPA, but affects progress probation and dismissal

MW – Military WithdrawalNot computed in GPA, but affects progress probation and dismissal

Computations:

Grade Point = Total Grade Points Earned (divided by) Average Total Units Attempted with letter grade

Progress = Total Units with “W”, “I” and “NC” (divided by)Percentage Total Units Enrolled

Pass-No Pass Grading (P/NP)A student may elect one course per semester to be graded on a Pass or a No Pass basis. The Pass/No Pass petition must be filed with the Admissions & Records office for this option prior to the 30% mark of the class. The equivalent of an A, B, or C received for the course will be recorded as P, with units earned. The equivalent of D or F will be recorded as NP, with no units earned. Units attempted for Pass-No Pass grades are not computed in the grade point average, but are used for determining progress probation and progress dismissal (see Probation and Dismissal information).A maximum of 15 credit units may be applied toward the Associate in Arts or Science degree.Note: Please check with your transfer institution to ensure that they accept courses with a “Pass” versus a letter (A, B, C) grade.

Once elected, the Pass-No Pass grade may not be changed to a letter grade (A, B, C, D, F) assigned by the instructor.* Courses taken prior to June 30, 2008 will be noted on the student records as CR/NC (Credit/No Credit).Courses taken July 1, 2008 and in the future will be noted as P/NP (Pass/No Pass), per Title 5 section 55022.

Incomplete Grading (I)An incomplete grade may be assigned by the instructor when, in the judgment of the instructor, the student is unable to complete the requirements of a course because of an unforeseeable emergency or justifiable reason at the end of the semester. A student should have completed at least two thirds of the coursework with a passing grade and be attending regularly up until the point when the incomplete is requested.

To receive credit for the course, the student must finish the incomplete work no later than one year from the end of the semester in which it was assigned. A student may petition for a time extension due to unusual circumstances. A student may not re-enroll in a course for the purpose of completing an incomplete.

Withdrawal from Class/Grades of WA student may officially drop a class without notation (a W grade) on the permanent academic record/transcript prior to the point in which 15% of a class has occurred. These important dates are available at http://www.losrios.edu/lrc/lrc_calend.php (click on the appropriate semester, then click on “Click here for more information, including start/end dates, drop/add dates”). Withdrawals occurring after this time, and before the point in which 75% of the class has occurred, shall result in a W notation on the permanent academic record/transcript. Official withdrawals are those that have been processed via eServices or by staff in the Admissions and Records Office.

A W grade on the permanent academic record/transcript is used for determining Progress Probation and Progress Dismissal. No withdrawals are permitted during the last 25% of a course, except due to extenuating circumstances (verified cases of accidents, illness, or other circumstances beyond the control of the student), for which a student may request withdrawal through the student petition process. After consultation with the instructor and with administrative approval, the grade may be recorded as a W rather than as a less than satisfactory or failing grade on the permanent academic record/transcript. In all other cases, after the 75% date, a student will receive a grade in the course.


Military withdrawal is available for students who are members of an active or reserve military service, and who receive orders compelling a withdrawal from courses. Students requesting military withdrawal must file a student petition and include supporting documentation.

Medical withdrawals may be considered when supporting documentation is provided along with a student petition.

Honors at GraduationStudents who maintain a high scholarship average are eligible for honors at graduation. Students who maintain a scholarship average of 3.5 or better are eligible for graduation with highest honors, and students who maintain a scholarship average of 3.0 or better are eligible for graduation with honors. All college coursework that a student has completed is used to calculate honors at graduation. The published lists of students are compiled from the data available at the time of publication and may be subject to subsequent revision.

Leave of AbsencePer LRCCD Policy P-7243, students may petition for leaves of absence from a college of the Los Rios Community College District in order to maintain catalog rights to a specified degree requirement option (See: Catalog Rights Policy P-7242).

Leaves of absence may be granted for verified medical and military situations that prevent the student from attending classes in any college session in a calendar year. Such leaves shall be limited to two (2) successive calendar years. In extenuating circumstances, a leave of absence may be extended beyond the two-year limit.

As stated in LRCCD Regulation R-7243, a petition for leave of absence should be filed in advance whenever possible. Students requesting a leave of absence during a semester must follow campus withdrawal procedures. Students applying for medical leave of absence must furnish a statement from the attending medical physician explaining the necessity for the student to interrupt enrollment. Students applying for military leave of absence must furnish a copy of the military orders inducting service.

ProbationThere are two types of probation: academic and progress.

Academic Probation: A student who has attempted at least 12 units is placed on Academic Probation if the student has earned a cumulative grade point average below 2.0.

Progress Probation: A student who has enrolled in a minimum of 12 semester units is placed on Progress Probation when W, I, and NP grades are recorded in one half or more of all units in which a student has enrolled.

Removal from Probation: A student on Academic Probation is removed from probation and achieves good standing when the student’s cumulative grade point average is 2.0 or higher.

A student on Progress Probation is removed from probation and placed in good standing when the W, I, and NC units drop below one half.

Any changes or updates to Los Rios Board policy can be obtained at: www.losrios.edu/legal/GCpolreg.htm

Remedial Unit LimitationThe California Community Colleges Board of Governors has adopted regulations limiting the number of remedial course units a student may take to 30. These courses are usually numbered 1-99. Students may petition for a waiver to the thirty-unit limitation through a counselor. However, federal financial aid does not allow a student to receive aid for more than 30 remedial units.

Transcripts - Folsom Lake CollegeStudents can order official transcripts online from their eServices account or the college website – through the Credentials transcript ordering portal. The cost for ordering an official transcript is $5 for regular processing or $10 for rush (next day) processing. There will be no cost to students for the first two regular processing transcripts they order.

Any coursework completed prior to Summer 2003 will be reflected on a Cosumnes River College official transcript. Coursework completed at Folsom Lake College starting with the Summer 2003 term is reflected on a FLC official transcript.

Please contact Admissions & Records at 916-608-6500 for additional information.


Unit/AcademicLoadPer LRCCD Regulation R-7211, fifteen (15) units each semester is considered a full college load. Twelve (12) units each semester is a minimum full-time load and is usually acceptable to qualify for scholarships, grants, loans and holding student offices.Eighteen (18) units per semester is a maximum load. Unit limit shall be District-wide. A petition to exceed the maximum load must be submitted in writing to the college at which the additional units will be taken prior to registration (at FLC the petition would be initiated through a counseling appointment). A student may petition up to a maximum of six (6) additional units District-wide through this process. Eight (8) units per summer session is a maximum load. Unit limit shall be District-wide. A petition to exceed the maximum load must be submitted in writing to the college at which the additional units will be taken prior to registration (at FLC the petition would be initiated through a counseling appointment). A student may petition up to a maximum of four (4) additional units District-wide through this process.Full governmental subsistence for veterans and dependents requires the unit load of 12 units (with reduced benefit amounts dependent on the total number of enrolled units).The following categories require the minimum unit load indicated: a. International students - 12 units b. Student athletes - 12 units including Physical Education.

Unit of CreditUnits of credit are assigned to courses based on the “Carnegie unit,’’ which assigns one unit of credit for three hours of work by the student per week. Usually this means one hour of lecture or discussion led by the instructor and two hours of outside preparation by the student. In laboratory courses, three hours of work in the laboratory are normally assigned one unit of credit which may include some additional preparation outside of class time. Students can find the number of units of credit with each course description.

ValedictoriansIt is the intention of this college to honor those students with the highest scholastic standing, and from those will be selected an individual to deliver a speech known as the valedictory address to his/her fellow classmates on behalf of them. It shall be the policy of this college to select a valedictorian for each commencement exercise. To be eligible for valedictorian, the following criteria must be met:

Valedictorians will be the students with the highest grade point average by the end of the previous fall semester. Grade point average (GPA) will be computed by dividing the total number of grade points by the units attempted within Los Rios Community College District and transferable courses taken outside of Los Rios. The candidates must be in good standing.

Notification of the valedictorian(s) is made by the college in early to mid April. All valedictorians will be noted in the Commencement program and one of the valedictorians will be selected to deliver the valedictory address through a process governed by the Associated Student Organization, the Commencement Committee, and upon approval of the College President or his or her designee.

VerificationofEnrollmentUpon written request, verifications of enrollment are provided free of charge, by Admissions and Records. Please allow ten business days for processing. For round the clock service, Los Rios Community College District has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to act as its agent for verification of student enrollment status. You can obtain an official Enrollment Verification Certificate at any time through the Clearinghouse website at www.studentclearinghouse.org (there is also a portal available on eServices). A fee may be charged for this express service.


In addition to regularly scheduled credit classes, students may receive college credit for participation in the following alternative credit and study options:

Advanced Placement TestsFolsom Lake College grants credit towards its degrees for examinations successfully completed through the College Board Advanced Placement (AP) program. A student who meets the following requirements may receive credit for exams successfully passed:• Be currently enrolled in a course other than the one

in which the student is petitioning for Advance Credit.

• Be in good standing, which is defined as having completed at least 12 units of credit classes and having a 2.0 GPA.

These requirements may be waived by petition under special circumstances. AP scores may be requested from Educational Testing Service (ETS) and must be sent to Folsom Lake College to receive credit. Exams passed with an acceptable score will receive three (3) semester units of credit, except where otherwise noted. The student should be aware that there is no guarantee that an individual transfer institution will accept these scores. Students should see their counselor for further information on particular transfer institutions’ policies. To request scores write: AP Exams, PO Box 6671, Princeton, NJ 08541-6671 or call (888) 225-5427.Credit/units will be used when evaluating an AA or AS degree, but grades are not awarded. Credit may not be posted to the FLC transcript for courses that duplicate the credit already allowed for AP exams. Students are encouraged to meet with a counselor for more information.

Credit may vary from year-to-year as requirements and AP exams change. Scores of 2 or less are not granted units in any of the areas.

For English, passing the Advanced Placement Language & Composition exam and/or the Literature & Composition exam with a score of 3 or higher will earn a student credit for English Writing 300. See the charts on the next two pages for more information.

College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) General Examination

After completing 12 units at Folsom Lake College or its centers, a student in good standing may submit scores on General Examinations, from the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) to the Admissions & Records office for college credit evaluation. A maximum of 30 units of credit may be granted toward completion of the general education requirements with the exception of the English requirement. No credit is granted for CLEP Subject Examinations. Scores must be at least in the 50th percentile. Students should be aware that some two-year and four-year colleges have the right to accept, modify, or reject the CLEP units. Students should meet with a counselor for more information on the CLEP.

Cooperative Work ExperienceCooperative Work Experience Education (WEXP) is an academic program in which students apply what they have learned in the classroom to their job or internship site, and work toward earning college credits. There are two types of programs: vocational and general.

Vocational Work Experience provides students with opportunities to develop or add marketable skills related to their vocational study programs.

Eligible students must:

• Be working in a paid or non-paid job or internship related to career goal. Students who do not have a job or internship and would like assistance should contact the Cooperative Work Experience Education Office. Students must have a cooperating employer by the end of the third week of the full semester or by the end of the first week of eight week (or summer session) to remain in the program.

• With employer’s assistance, establish new on-the-job skills that will be documented.

• Attend a one-hour weekly career management class or qualify for the “Returning Student” status. However, attendance is required for everyone for the first orientation session.

• Register for 1, 2, 3, or 4 units. One unit of credit may be earned for each 75 hours of paid work experience or for 60 hours of non-pay experience. A total of 16 units may be earned in Vocational Work Experience.

AlternativeCredit/StudyOptions




• Students working in their college majors and taking, or have taken, a course in that area should enroll in that area’s work experience class (e.g. a teacher’s aid should enroll in Human Services 498 and a sales clerk should enroll in Business 498).

Interested students may earn college credit in the following majors:• Accounting • Administration of Justice• Business• Communications Media • Computer Information Science• Dance • Early Childhood Education • Environmental Technology • Fire Technology• Gerontology • Human Services• Kinesiology • Management• Marketing• Music - Specializations in Music• Nutrition • Photography• Theatre Arts

CO-OP has two different ways to qualify for the program:New (First-time) Students:A. You are working a paid or non-paid job or

internship.B. You must attend the class that meets each week.

This class will cover workforce/career transition issues.

C. Your grade and units are earned based on your performance in the workplace (developing new skills) and classroom assignments.

Returning Students:A. You have completed 7 units at a community college

or four-year institution in California.B. You are working a paid or non-paid job or

internship.C. No class attendance is required for this program

except for the first “orientation” session. However, you must establish new on-the-job skills with your employer and complete the necessary forms.

D. Your grade and units are earned based on your work performance and outside homework assignments that emphasize career transition.

General Work Experience education assists students in learning about the world of work and is open to all students regardless of major or job. Like vocational work experience, it is designed for students wanting to apply skills learned in the classroom to their actual job.

College credit (1-3 units) will be earned for working in the students’ current job per semester. No more than six units may be earned in the program. One unit of credit may be earned for each 75 hours of paid work experience or for 60 hours of volunteer experience. Students must have a cooperative employer by the end of the third week of the semester to remain in the program.

Eligible students must meet all requirements listed for Vocational Work Experience Credit above and register for “General Work Experience” (Work Experience 198), rather than Cooperative Work Experience courses.

For more information, call (916) 608-6552.

Credit by ExaminationUnder special circumstances and with the concurrence of the department, students regularly enrolled and in good standing who believe they are qualified by experience or previous training may take a special examination to establish credit in a course in which they are not formally enrolled. A student who wishes to petition for credit by examination must have successfully completed a minimum of 12 units at FLC with a minimum GPA of 2.0.Successful completion of a course by examination is recorded on the permanent record (transcript) as a “P” or Pass grade. The “P” grade does not enter into the computation of the student’s GPA.A maximum of 15 units of credit may be allowed by credit by exam. The units granted by credit by exam may not be used to establish full-time or part-time status or to satisfy the 12 units residence requirement for graduation. Credit by exam units cannot be used to establish eligibility for financial aid, athletics, veterans’ programs, etc. Students will be assessed the regular enrollment fee for all credit by exam courses (the BOG fee waiver does not apply). Eligibility is not permissible under the following situations:• Student has completed or enrolled in a more advanced course, which follows this course in sequence.• An examination for the same course was previously taken and not successfully passed.• Examination would duplicate coursework for which credit was granted previously.


• Student does not meet the prerequisite or corequisite for the course.Please note that some 4-year colleges and universities do NOT accept units granted through credit by examination. Students are encouraged to meet with a counselor for more information.For the appropriate petition form and additional information, please contact the Admissions & Records Office.

Independent StudiesAn Independent Study course involves an individual student or small group of students in study, research, or activities beyond the scope of regularly offered courses, pursuant to an agreement among the college, faculty member, and student(s). Independent Studies require regular meetings between student and instructor; additionally, the instructor may require examinations or other measures of evaluation, field trips, term papers, and other assignments.

Students who are enrolled in regular catalog courses at Folsom Lake College and are in good standing may petition to enroll in an independent studies offering. Students may petition to enroll in one (1) to three (3) units in a single department per semester, with a maximum of six (6) units of Independent Studies allowed per semester. A maximum of twelve (12) units of Independent Studies is allowed toward graduation requirements. Students can normally expect to successfully accomplish only one such project per semester, as one (1) unit of credit represents approximately 54 hours of work.

(NOTE: Units taken in Independent Study may not be transferable; the student should consult a counselor regarding a specific college or university’s acceptance of these units.)

Application: To apply for Independent Study a qualified student first discusses the proposed study with the instructor who will supervise the study and with the appropriate instructional dean prior to the 9th week of the semester. If the instructor agrees to supervise the project, the student then completes a petition and course proposal form (available in Admissions & Records) with the assistance of the supervising instructor, who will process the petition. If the petition receives final approval, the student is registered in the course and receives a grade as in any regularly scheduled course.

Military Service - CreditCredit for military service is granted upon presentation of papers showing honorable discharge from and active duty of one year or more in the United States armed forces. A veteran may receive three (3) units of living skills graduation requirements and one (1) unit of elective credit, if applicable, by submitting a copy of the DD214 separation papers. Under rare circumstances, veterans may also receive credit for satisfactory training completed in service school.

After enrolling at FLC, a veteran may apply for evaluation of military service experience for college credit. A copy of the veteran’s DD214 separation paper MUST be submitted at the Admissions & Records office after the first semester of attendance. Credit granted for military service is based on A Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services, published by the American Council on Education.

Students in the six-month reserve training program are not eligible for military credit. This is in accordance with the recommendation of the American Council on Education.

Distance EducationOnline EducationFolsom Lake College offers some instruction via the Internet, including online course sections where almost all work is carried out online (with the possible exception of on-ground orientations and exams) and hybrid course sections where instruction is divided between online and on-ground class sessions. Faculty teaching online, hybrid, and some on-ground courses often use web-based learning materials, resources, assignments, and even some quizzes and tests, and regularly contact students through email or other electronic means. Online materials are also part of some course textbook requirements. Students enrolled in any of these courses can complete some or all of their online assignments in the FLC-main campus Personal Learning Environment (PLE) or in open labs at either the El Dorado Center (EDC) or the Rancho Cordova Center (RCC) during regularly scheduled hours, as well as from home or other off-campus locations.

Full course descriptions can be found in the college catalog under the heading for the specific course discipline. Class schedules will indicate whether a course is online or hybrid and if on-ground orientations or exams are required. For more information, please check the specific class listing in the online schedule. Each online or hybrid class section will contain a class note with a link to the appropriate information site.


Registration and rules for these courses are the same as those governing traditional on-ground courses.

In order to be successful in online courses, students need to be self-directed, motivated, and able to independently complete and electronically submit assignments on schedule. Students will also need basic Internet skills and consistent access to a computer with Internet capability.

Televised InstructionFolsom Lake College offers some live interactive television (iTV) courses, which include instructor broadcasts from the FLC-main campus. Students may participate from classrooms at FLC-main, the El Dorado Center (EDC), the Rancho Cordova Center (RCC), and sometimes other locations. The center classrooms are equipped for direct contact with the instructor. In most cases, exams will be offered at FLC-main, EDC, or RCC, although some are available online. For more information, visit: www.flc.losrios.edu/~itvAll iTV courses are held to the same academic standards that apply to traditional courses. Students must attend the first class meeting in-person to remain registered in the class and to receive iTV-specific information. The first class meeting is also when students are oriented to the course and receive the course syllabus and initial handouts. Full course descriptions can be found in the college catalog under the heading for the specific course discipline.

Study Abroad ProgramsStudy abroad can be an enlightening, maturing, and life-changing experience. Students are challenged to re-examine themselves, their attitudes, and their studies as they learn to understand new and different cultures.

In cooperation with the American Institute for Foreign Study, the Los Rios Community College District offers unique study opportunities in cities such as London, England; Madrid, Spain; and Paris, France. For more information on how to apply, call the Study Abroad Office at (916) 691-7187.

Aerospace Studies (Air Force ROTC)Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) is available to students in the Los Rios College District through a program offered at CSU, Sacramento. The CSUS Department of Aerospace Studies offers three- and four-year programs leading to a commission in the United States Air Force. All coursework (12 to 16 semester units) is completed on the CSUS campus. Leadership Laboratory, physical fitness training, and lecture are normally offered during the early morning

hours Monday through Thursday and most of the day on Friday. Field training is conducted during part of the summer at an active duty air force base, normally between the student’s sophomore and junior years.

Upon completion of the program and all requirements for a Bachelor’s degree, cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants in the Air Force and serve a minimum of four years on active duty. Graduates who are qualified and are selected may enter pilot or navigator training after graduation, or serve in a specialty consistent with their academic major, individual goals, and existing Air Force needs. Graduates may request a delay of entry to active duty to continue their education or may apply for Air Force-sponsored graduate study to begin immediately upon entry on active duty.

Air Force ROTC may offer 3-year and 2-year scholarships to qualified students. Applications are accepted in any academic discipline; however, particular emphasis is usually given to applicants in the fields of engineering, computer science, mathematics, and physics.

Due to firm scheduling requirements for the Air Force ROTC program, students are encouraged to work closely with their academic advisers in planning this academic program. Application to the Air Force ROTC program should normally be no later than the first semester of a student’s sophomore year. Juniors, seniors, and graduate students may also apply under certain conditions. Contact the Recruiting Flight Commander in the Aerospace Studies Department at CSUS, (916) 278-7315, for information on the program or the entry process


DegreeandCertificateProgramsFolsom Lake College offers certificate and degree career curricula to students planning to enter occupations directly upon completing their work at a community college. The college also offers two-year general education curricula for students who do not seek intensive training for specific jobs but rather desire to broaden their cultural backgrounds or become more effective citizens and/or parents. Many four-year institutions will give partial or full credit for courses in these areas completed with acceptable grades; however, these courses are not specifically designed for students planning to transfer to four-year institutions.

DegreePrograms:Students planning to graduate with the Associate in Arts or Science degree must comply with the graduation requirements listed in this catalog. Candidates for graduation must file a petition for graduation.

Certificate programs have been developed to assist those already employed in business and industry or those who desire to upgrade their skills or acquire specialized training. Areas of vocational (occupational) education include technical and industrial trades, health occupations, business and finance, electronics and computer sciences, police and fire science, and many others. FLC has up-to-date equipment and facilities and vocational instructors who are experts in their fields. Depending on the occupation selected, training may take from six months to two years. Students may further their education by pursuing an Associate degree or fulfilling university transfer requirements. Upon fulfillment of required courses, students can meet with a counselor to prepare a Petition for Certification form.

Although some equivalent course work at other accredited institutions might apply toward a Certificate of Completion, a grade of “C” is required in each course leading to a certificate. A minimum of twelve (12) units must be completed at Folsom Lake College or its centers. Certificate programs which are scheduled for fewer than twelve (12) units may be completed by satisfying the certificate program requirements.

Application for GraduationAt least one semester before the planned graduation, students should schedule an appointment with a counselor to check their progress in fulfilling the graduation requirements. They should then meet with a counselor in order to submit a degree or certificate petition prior to the posted deadline for the semester in which they wish to graduate (see calendar at front of this catalog).All official transcripts from other colleges must be submitted to the Admissions & Records office before a degree petition is submitted.

GraduationFolsom Lake College has one graduation ceremony each year, at the end of spring semester in May. August and December graduates, and May candidates, may participate in this commencement exercise. All students who are eligible for the Associate in Arts or Science degree must petition by the deadline dates noted in the calendar in the class schedule.

better for each course)• Area B, section 4 (C grade or better)• A minimum of 30 semester units of general

education with a 2.0 grade point average. This includes items A and B listed above.

GPA requirements are higher for more competitive campuses or majors. Students are highly encouraged to complete lower-division preparatory courses for their major as required by the CSU of their choice, in addition to general education-breadth requirements, and graduation requirements. Lower-division major requirements can be obtained from ASSIST (www.assist.org), the official state-wide repository for transfer and course articulation information.

The CSU will accept a maximum of 70 transferable semester units completed in the community colleges. FLC students should meet with a counselor to plan appropriate course selection in preparation for transfer.

Transfer to University of CaliforniaUniversity of California System - Eligible for UC Admission after High School: Students who were eligible for admission to the university when they graduated from high school (meaning they satisfied the Subject, Scholarship, and Examination Requirements) are eligible to transfer if they have a C (2.0) average in transferable coursework.

Community College Transfer: Students who met the Scholarship Requirement, but not the Subject Requirement, must take transferable college courses in the missing subjects earning a C or better in each required course, and have an overall C average in all transferable coursework to be eligible to transfer.

Students who met the Scholarship Requirement, but not the Examination Requirement must complete a minimum of 12 semester units of transferable work and earn an overall C (2.0) average in all transferable college coursework completed.

Make a plan for your transfer successStudents planning to transfer to a California university should plan a program to meet the admissions and graduation requirements of the specific institution they plan to attend. Transfer admission eligibility is based on transferable college units and/or high school record(s) and test scores. Each institution has its own requirements for admission and junior standing. To prepare for transfer, students must decide which school they will attend and consult a counselor for the specific requirements for that particular institution and to create a written educational plan.

The college has a variety of support services available to assist students with career decision-making, problem resolution, and goal achievement.

Guaranteed Admission with Four-Year Colleges: Folsom Lake College enjoys guaranteed admission with nine colleges and universities. Participating institutions include:• Golden Gate University• Saint Mary’s University• UC Davis• UC Merced• UC Irvine• UC Riverside• UC Santa Cruz• UC Santa Barbara• University of the PacificStudents may file a transfer admission guarantee (known as a TAG) after completing a specified number of transferable units with a minimum GPA (typically a 3.0 or higher) as determined by the transfer institution. Please see a counselor for TAG details including application deadlines.

Transfer to California State University California State University System – Eligible for CSU Admissions after High School: Students who were eligible for admission to a CSU when they graduated from high school, but decided to attend a community college, can transfer to some CSUs at any time as long as a 2.0 grade point average or better is maintained for all transferable coursework completed at the community college. High school eligibility is based on test scores, grade point averages, and completion of specific subject area requirements.

Transfer Information


Students who did not meet the Scholarship Requirement must:

a) Complete 60 semester units of transferable college credit with a grade point average of at least 2.4 for California residents, 2.8 for non-residents, and;

b) Complete the following course pattern, earning a grade of C or better in each course:• two transferable college courses (3 semester

Virtually all institutions give full credit for general education courses and usually for other courses designated for transfer by the community college.

Some colleges and universities stipulate a certain number of completed units before considering students eligible for transfer. Others do not and will accept students at any time. The requirements are outlined in the respective college catalogs, available upon request from the College’s Transition Center. Students are urged to contact their counselors for additional information.

Associates Degrees for Transfer (AD-T)California Community Colleges are now offering associate degrees for transfer to the CSU. These may include Associate in Arts (AA-T) or Associate in Science (AS-T) degrees. These degrees are designed to provide a clear pathway to a CSU major and baccalaureate

degree. California Community College students who are awarded an AA-T or AS-T degree are guaranteed admission with junior standing somewhere in the CSU system and given priority admission consideration to their local CSU campus or to a program that is deemed similar to their community college major. This priority does not guarantee admission to specific majors or campuses.

Students who have been awarded an AA-T or AS-T are able to complete their remaining requirements for the 120-unit baccalaureate degree within 60 semester or 90 quarter units.

Folsom Lake College has developed the following AA-T/AS-T degrees:• Administration of Justice• Art History• Business Administration• Communication Studies• Early Childhood Education• English• Kinesiology• Mathematics• Physics• Psychology

Current and prospective community college students are encouraged to meet with a counselor to review their options for transfer and explore additional degrees which may be under development at the time of publication.

RequirementsThe following is required for all AA-T or AS-T degrees:1. Minimum of 60 CSU-transferable semester units.2. Minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least a 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. While a minimum of 2.0 is required for admission, some majors may require a higher GPA.

The Financial Aid Office provides a wide range of financial assistance to students in the form of grants, part-time employment, scholarships, and loans. Mostawards are contingent upon financial need, cost of attendance, and enrollment status (full-time or part-time).

The basic premise for all need-based financial aid programs is that the primary responsibility for financing a student’s post-secondary education rests with the student and his/her family. Student financial aid is intended to assist with those educational costs that remain after the student’s resources and expected contribution from the family have been taken into account. To be considered for financial aid, a student must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each new academic year, beginning January 1st and preferably by March 2nd to be eligible for maximum aid. FAFSA on the web worksheets are available at the Financial Aid Office or on the web at: www.fafsa.gov. The FAFSA Title IV federal school code for Folsom Lake College is: 038713.

Once the FAFSA is submitted online, a Student Aid Report (SAR) will be emailed or mailed directly to the student and a duplicate version will be transmitted electronically to the designated school.

Federal and State Grants Federal Pell GrantThis program aids students who have not yet received a bachelor’s degree from any institution. The Pell Grant is intended to be the “foundation” of a student’s financial aid package with other sources of aid to supplement it. Eligibility will vary according to enrollment status and federally determined Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The duration of eligibility for receiving a Federal Pell Grant is limited to 12 semesters at full-time enrollment or the equivalent for a total of 600% lifetime eligibility used.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG)This program is limited to undergraduate students with exceptional financial need who, for lack of financial means, would be unable to enter or remain in college. Funding is limited; therefore, students are encouraged to apply early.

State Cal GrantsCal Grants are administered by the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC). The FAFSA and a GPA Verification must be submitted by March 2nd prior to the award year. Contact the Financial Aid office for GPA Verification requirements. Cal Grant A: Helps low and middle-income students with tuition costs at 4-year colleges and universities. Grant recipients are selected on the basis of financial need and grade point average.The California Student Aid Commission will hold tuition fee awards for those who qualify, until the student transfers to a four-year college. Students must maintain eligibility each year.Cal Grant B: Aids students from low-income and disadvantaged backgrounds. This grant may be used at a community college or a university for up to four years.Cal Grant C: Provides assistance for low and middle-income students formally enrolled in and pursuing a vocational training program at Folsom Lake College.Students who meet the AB540 criteria are also eligible to apply for and receive state-funded financial aid including Cal Grants and Chafee Grant.

Part-time Employment (money earned)Federal Work Study Program (FWS)The Federal Work Study program allows students to earn money for their educational expenses while in school. Students are encouraged to find jobs relating to their program of study. Work study wages are based on federal minimum wage guidelines. Students may qualify by virtue of their need, satisfactory academic standing, availability, and feasible work skills.

Scholarships (do not require repayment)Scholarship awards are available for students who are interested in particular fields of study, who are members of underrepresented groups, who live in certain areas of the country, or who demonstrate financial need. The Financial Aid office maintains a list of local, state, and national scholarships. Enrollment verification is usually required. Scholarships from many donors are available for the student who is returning for a second year, as well as for the student who plans to transfer to a four-year institution. The number of awards depends on the number of applications and funds available. Scholarship information is available online at www.flc.losrios.edu (click on the “Scholarships” Quick Link).

Foundation ScholarshipsThese awards are provided by the Folsom Lake College Foundation and are granted to graduating seniors and current students enrolled in at least six units at FLC/EDC/RCC. Awards are based on the goals stated by the student, academic effort shown by adequate grades (2.0 G.P.A.), community service or work experience, and financial need.

Loans (requires repayment)Federal Direct Loan Program (Subsidized)This loan is offered to middle and low-income borrowers who demonstrate financial need. Loan limits and interest rates are based on current federal guidelines.

Federal Direct Loan Program (Unsubsidized)This loan is offered for middle and higher income borrowers. With the exception of demonstrating financial need, the unsubsidized Federal Direct Loan has the same eligibility criteria as the subsidized Federal Direct Loan. This means that family income will not affect loan eligibility or disqualify a student from receiving an unsubsidized loan. Loan limits and interest rates are based on current federal guidelines.To apply for a federally insured loan, institutional policy requires that a student must:• Complete a Free Application for Federal Student

Aid (FAFSA)


• Be enrolled in at least six units• Receive award letter for other forms of federal/

state financial aid • Attend a loan entrance informational workshop to

obtain loan applications and additional important information for online loan entrance counseling.

• Complete loan exit counseling when enrollment drops below six units, withdraws, or graduates from the college.

Accepting any federal student loan is accepting a huge responsibility. Defaulting on any federal student loans will result in disqualification of all financial aid, adverse credit, and severe legal action. By accepting a Federal Direct Student Loan, the student accepts the responsibility to repay it.

RequirementsforFederal/StateFinancialAid

Eligibility for financial assistance is determined by: • Demonstrated financial need. Financial need

exists when the cost of education exceeds all of the resources available to a student. This need must be determined each academic year for which a student applies.

• Being a U.S. citizen, a permanent resident, or status as a resident alien with the appropriate visa.

• Registering for Selective Service: Federal and state laws require that men between the ages of 18-25 register with the U.S. Selective Service System to be eligible for school Financial Aid (50 U.S.C. App. 451, et seq.)

• Being enrolled or accepted for enrollment as a regular student working towards a degree or certificate in an eligible program.

• Having a high school diploma, Education Development (GED) Certificate, or passing the CA Proficiency Exam. Effective July 1, 2012, students without a high school diploma or its equivalent are ineligible for title IV funds. Students who completed a home-schooling curriculum are considered to have received a high school diploma or its equivalent. Only students enrolled in an eligible program at FLC prior to July 1, 2012 who have completed six degree applicable or transfer units are grandfathered in to satisfy the high school diploma requirement. ATB test passed at any Los Rios district college campus are acceptable at FLC. Note that FLC reserves the right to evaluate High School diploma(s). The Vice President of Student Services or his/her designee may, at any time, request a copy of a high school transcript or other documentation to validate the authenticity of the High School diploma. The decision of the Vice President of Student Services or his/her designee is final and cannot be appealed.

• Making Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Congress and the Federal Department of Education award funds to students who are making satisfactory progress toward their educational goal. SAP is defined by the Federal Department of Education as 150 percent of normal length of time for a student to achieve an educational objective. Therefore, the Financial Aid Office is required to monitor academic progress and deny aid to any student who fails to meet satisfactory academic progress as measured by: 1. Maintain a minimum of a 2.0 FLC Cumulative

Grade Point Average (GPA)2. Maintain Progress – Successfully complete at

least 75% of units enrolled3. Total Units (Maximum Time Period) - Students

may attempt up to 72 units or a maximum of 150% of the program length toward the completion of a degree or certificate program. Students who have completed a degree (including a foreign degree) or attempted 72 or more units will be denied financial aid. Students who have attempted more than 150% of the units required for a certificate program will be denied financial aid. Units completed at other colleges or taken without the assistance of financial aid are calculated into the total number of units attempted. Up to 30 earned units of remedial coursework at FLC may be deducted from the total units accumulated (this includes Math, English, HCD, and ESL coursework). ESL classes are counted towards the total number of units attempted. Students who enroll in ESL or excessive remedial courses that don’t apply to their degree or certificate may exhaust their financial aid eligibility prior to completing their program.

A student may be placed on financial aid dismissal for not meeting SAP. Students with extenuating circumstances may be able to file a Financial Aid Appeal to reinstate financial aid. A student will be placed on financial aid probation if the Financial Aid Appeal is approved. If the student fails to meet SAP while on probation, financial aid will be denied. Read the financial aid SAP policy and Appeal Eligibility criteria to determine if you are eligible to appeal.

Basis for Denial of Financial Aid Financial Aid may be denied for the following reasons:• Default on Federal Student Loans.• Owing a refund or repayment on Pell or FSEOG.• Failure to meet the SAP standards adopted by FLC

for financial aid recipients.


• Completion of an AA or AS Degree, attempting 72 or more units, or attempting 150% of the units required for a certificate program.

• Falsification of information that affects the determination of eligibility or aid.

• Failure to provide necessary verification/documentation of income and resources.


conversar en un idioma que no sea inglés, en ninguna de sus funciones o actividades, incluyendo el empleo.

El Distrito cumple además con aquellas leyes federales y estatales y las normas de la Junta de Directores de los Colegios Comunitarios de California, las cuales prohíben el hostigamiento sexual.

Tales políticas antidiscriminatorias se extienden a todas las funciones y actividades del Distrito Universitario Comunitario Los Rios, incluyendo el empleo y la selección de empleos, programas educativos, servicios, admisiones y ayuda financiera.

Diversity/EquityCommitmentFolsom Lake College believes that the world of tomorrow will be shaped by what happens to the individual and the community today. Thus, we seek to enhance, through learning, the unique potential of every person entering our doors and to nourish the quality of life in our community. In particular, the college strives to create an institutional climate of full enfranchisement and participation for all students, faculty, and staff. This includes addressing the needs of the culturally diverse student population at the college, ensuring gender equity, and facilitating student and staff understanding of cultural perspectives of others, as well as their own.

Title IX (Sex Discrimination)Folsom Lake College and Los Rios Community College District are committed to eliminating all forms of unlawful discrimination and sexual harassment.

Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 and subsequent amendments is the landmark legislation that bans sex discrimination in schools, whether it be in academics or athletics. Title IX states: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

The underlying intent of Title IX is to eliminate any form of discrimination based on gender that may interfere with a student’s physical well-being, emotional well-being, and academic performance. Colleges and universities receiving federal funds bear an affirmative duty to ensure that no student (male or female) is deprived of an educational opportunity or benefit due to such discrimination.

Los Rios Community College District Non-Discrimination Policy

The District further complies with those federal and state laws and the regulations of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges which prohibit sexual harassment.

Such non-discrimination policies extend to all of the functions and activities of the Los Rios Community College District including employment and employment selection, educational programs, services, admissions, and financial aid.

Discrimination and Harassment

Discrimination Categories Protected under Title 5:• Age• Ethnic Group Identification• Physical Disability• Retaliation• Ancestry• Mental Disability• Race• Sex (includes Harassment)• Color• National Origin• Religion• Sexual Orientation

Other Types of Harassment:

BullyingHarassment that can occur on the playground, school, in the workforce, or any other place. Usually physical and psychological harassing behavior perpetrated against an individual, by one or more persons.HB 1576 defines “bullying” to mean recklessly or intentionally endangering the health or safety of a student by exposing the student repeatedly and over time to physical aggression or intimidation, whether through direct physical contact or through the use of information or communication technology, resulting in bodily injury or other harm to person or property. This definition does not supersede or limit any definition

of bullying developed by the Board of Education or the actual codes of student conduct adopted by school boards pursuant to § 22.1-279.6. Bullying is punishable as a Class 1 misdemeanor.Workplace Bullying is repeated, health-harming mistreatment of one or more persons (the targets) by one or more perpetrators that takes one or more of the following forms: verbal abuse; offensive conduct/behaviors (including nonverbal) which are threatening, humiliating, or intimidating; work interference - sabotage - which prevents work from getting done.

Psychological harassmentThis is humiliating or abusive behavior that lowers a person’s self-esteem or causes them torment. This can take the form of verbal comments, actions, or gestures. Falling into this category is workplace mobbing.

Racial harassmentThe targeting of an individual because of their race or ethnicity. The harassment includes words, deeds, and actions that are specifically designed to make the target feel degraded due to their race of origin or ethnicity.

Religious harassmentVerbal, psychological, or physical harassment used against targets because they choose to practice a specific religion. Religious harassment can also include forced and involuntary conversions.

Sexual harassmentHarassment can happen anywhere but is most common in the workplace and schools. It involves unwanted and unwelcome words, deeds, actions, gestures, symbols, or behaviors of a sexual nature that make the target feel uncomfortable. Gender and sexual orientation harassment fall into this family.

StalkingThe unauthorized following and surveillance of an individual, to the extent that the person’s privacy is unacceptably intruded upon, and the victim fears for their safety.

MobbingViolence committed directly or indirectly by a loosely affiliated and organized group of individuals to punish or even execute a person for some alleged offense without a lawful trial. The “offense” can range from a serious crime like murder or simple expression of ethnic, cultural, or religious attitudes. The issue of the victim’s actual guilt or innocence is often irrelevant to the mob, since the mob relies on contentions that are unverifiable, unsubstantiated, or completely fabricated.


HazingTo persecute, harass, or torture in a deliberate, calculated, planned manner. Typically the targeted individual is a subordinate, for example, a fraternity pledge, a first-year military cadet, or somebody who is considered “inferior” or an “outsider.” Hazing is illegal in many instances.

BacklashBacklash or “victim blaming” occurs when the harasser or other people in the environment blame the victim for the harassment or the resulting controversies and conflicts after the harassment is reported or discovered. Backlash results when people erroneously believe the victim could stop the harassment if they really tried, or that the victim must have done something to cause the harassment. The victim may be accused of trying to get attention, covering for incompetence, or in cases where the harassment is proven, lying about the extent of the effects. “Old school” attitudes about certain kinds of harassment remain and there are in many circumstances social pressure for victims to “keep their mouths shut” about abuse or suffer the consequences.

DisabilityFolsom Lake College does not discriminate on the basis of disability in admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, its programs and activities. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and the regulations adopted thereunder and the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibit such discrimination.

Race, Color, National Origin, or Disability

Folsom Lake College complies with the requirement of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended by the Americans with Disabilities Act and the regulations adopted thereunder. No person shall, on the grounds of race, color, national origin, or disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program of Folsom Lake College. Referrals may be made to the Equity Officer at (916) 608-6752.

Age, Marital Status, ReligionFolsom Lake College does not discriminate on the basis of age, marital status, religion, or sexual orientation. Referrals may be made to the Equity Officer at (916) 608-6752.

Gender HarassmentSex discrimination in the form of gender harassment consists primarily of repeated comments, jokes, and innuendoes directed at persons because of their gender or sexual orientation. This behavior typically is not

aimed at eliciting sexual cooperation, but, like racial harassment, it contaminates the learning and work environment and has no place at Folsom Lake College.

Examples of gender harassment include the following:• Disparaging women’s intellectual abilities and

potential;• Using sexist statements in classroom discussions;• Disparaging the lifestyles or behaviors of gays or

lesbians. Sexual Harassment Policy

It is the desire of the Los Rios Community College District Board of Trustees to provide for all students and employees an educational environment and workplace free from sexual harassment. Sexual harassment in any situation is unacceptable and is in violation of state and federal laws and regulations. Where evidence of harassment is found, appropriate corrective action shall be taken.

DefinitionofsexualharassmentA. Sexual harassment means unwelcome sexual

advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, visual, or physical conduct of a sexual nature, made by someone from or in the work or educational setting, under any of the following conditions:1. Submission to the conduct is explicitly or

implicitly made a term or a condition of an individual’s employment, academic status, or progress.

2. Submission to, or rejection of, the conduct by the individual is used as the basis of employment or an academic decision affecting the individual.

3. The conduct has the purpose or effect of having a negative impact upon the individual’s work or academic performance, or of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work or educational environment.

4. Submission to, or rejection of, the conduct by the individual is used as the basis for any decision affecting the individual regarding benefits and services, honors, programs, or activities available at or through the educational institution.

The victim does not have to be the person harassed but could be anyone affected by the offensive conduct.

B. For the purpose of further clarification, sexual harassment includes, but is not limited to:1. Making unsolicited written, verbal, visual, or

physical contact with sexual overtones. Some examples are: epithets, derogatory comments,


or slurs of a sexual nature; impeding or blocking movements or any physical interference with normal work; derogatory posters or cartoons.

2. Continuing to express sexual interest after being informed that the interest is unwelcome. (Reciprocal attraction is not considered sexual harassment.)

3. Within the work environment, engaging in explicit or implicit coercive sexual behavior which controls, influences, or affects the career, salary, and/or work environment or any other term or condition of employment; within the educational environment, engaging in explicit or implicit coercive sexual behavior which controls, influences, or affects the educational opportunities, grades, and/or learning environment of the student.

4. Making reprisals, threats of reprisal, or implied threats of reprisal following a negative response to a sexual advance. For example, within the work environment, either suggesting or actually withholding support for an appointment, promotion, or change of assignment; suggesting a poor performance report will be prepared, or suggesting probation will be failed. Within the educational environment, either suggesting or actually withholding grades earned or deserved; suggesting a poor performance evaluation will be prepared; or suggesting a scholarship recommendation or college application will be denied.

5. Offering favors or educational or employment benefits, such as grades or promotions, favorable performance evaluations, favorable assignments, favorable duties or shifts, recommendations, reclassification, etc., in exchange for sexual favors.

Complaint Procedure And ImpactAny individual who believes that he or she has been sexually harassed is encouraged to follow the complaint procedures as set forth in the District’s Discrimination Complaint Regulation R-2423. Throughout the procedures, the College President and the College/District Equity Officers will insure that, when possible, confidentiality will be maintained and that due process will be followed with respect to both parties. In the case of a student, it shall not affect grades, class selection, or other matters pertaining to his or her status as a student. In a situation where evidence is found that an allegation of sexual harassment is brought solely for the purpose of vexation, the appropriate disciplinary action will be taken. Sexual harassment policy, procedural steps, and forms are available from the campus Equity Officer,

(916) 608-6752 or Vice President of Administration, (916) 608-6555.

Faculty Statement of Professional Ethics1. Faculty members, guided by a deep conviction of the

worth and dignity of the advancement of knowledge, recognize the special responsibilities placed upon them. Their primary responsibility to their subjects is to seek and to state the truth as they see it. To this end they devote their energies to developing and improving their scholarly and teaching competence. They accept the obligation to exercise critical self-discipline and judgment in using, extending and transmitting knowledge. They practice intellectual honesty. Although they may follow subsidiary interests, these interests must never seriously hamper or compromise their freedom of inquiry.

2. As teachers, faculty members encourage the free pursuit of learning in their students. They hold before them the best scholarly standards of their discipline. They demonstrate respect for the student as an individual and adhere to their proper role as intellectual guides and counselors. They make every reasonable effort to foster honest academic conduct and to assure that their evaluation of students reflects their true merit. They respect the confidential nature of the relationship between faculty member and student. They avoid any exploitation of students for their private advantage and acknowledge significant assistance from them. They protect their academic freedom.

3. As colleagues, faculty members have obligations that derive from common membership in the community of scholars. They respect and defend the free inquiry of their associates. In the exchange of criticism and ideas they show due respect for the opinions of others. They acknowledge their academic debts and strive to be objective in their professional judgment of colleagues. They accept their share of faculty responsibilities for the governance of their institution.

4. As members of their institution, faculty members seek above all to be effective teachers and scholars. Although they observe the stated regulations of the institution, provided they do not contravene academic freedom, they maintain their right to criticize and seek revision. They determine the amount and character of the work they do outside their institution with due regard to their paramount responsibilities within it. When considering the interruption or termination of their service, they recognize the effect of their decision upon the program of the institution and give due notice of their intentions.


Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom

(American Association of University Professors)• The purpose of this statement is to promote public

understanding and support of academic freedom and tenure and agreement upon procedures to ensure them in colleges and universities. Institutions of higher education are conducted for the common good and not to further the interest of either the individual teacher or the institution as a whole. The common good depends upon the free search for truth and its free exposition.

• Academic freedom is essential to these purposes and applies to both teaching and research. Freedom in research is fundamental to the advancement of truth. Academic freedom in its teaching aspect is fundamental for the protection of the rights of the teacher in teaching and the freedom of the student in learning. It carries with it duties correlative with rights.

• Teachers are entitled to freedom in the classroom in discussing their subject, but they should be careful not to introduce into their teaching controversial matter, which has no relation to their subject.

• College and university teachers are citizens, members of a learned profession, and officers of an educational institution. When they speak or write as citizens, they should be free from institutional censorship or discipline, but their special position in the community imposes special obligations. As scholars and educational officers, they should remember that the public may judge their profession and their institution by their utterances. Hence they should at all times be accurate, should exercise appropriate restraint, should show respect for the opinions of others, and should make every effort to indicate that they are not speaking for the institution.

Los Rios Colleges Federation of Teachers Statement

on Academic FreedomThe LRCCD and LRCFT agree that Academic Freedom is essential for the fulfillment of the educational mission of the District and for the ability of faculty members to perform their professional duties. In addition, Academic Freedom ensures faculty member’s rights and obligations of Professional Protection, Autonomy and Responsibility.

Professional Protections—faculty members shall be protected from: • censorship, restraint, or dismissal in their ability

to study, investigate, present, interpret, or discuss the relevant facts and ideas within the assigned curriculum and outline.

• extraneous considerations such as a faculty member’s ethnicity, race, religion, political beliefs or affiliation, sexual orientation, or disability being used in evaluations of professional performance.

Professional AutonomyFaculty members have the principle right and responsibility to determine the methods of instruction, the planning and presentation of course materials, and the fair and equitable methods of assessment in their assignment in accordance with the approved curriculum and course outline and the educational mission of the District in accordance with state laws and regulations.

Professional Commitments and Obligations—all faculty members should:• conduct a classroom environment that is conducive

to student learning, growth, and development; in which students are free from discrimination, prejudice, and harassment; and in which students are free to express relevant ideas and opinions.

• clearly differentiate to students the expression of a faculty member’s personal opinions or convictions from the objective presentation of theory, fact, or ideas.

• adhere to District procedures for using approved materials and resources.

(Informed by documents of the AAUP, LRCFT, LRCCD)

ClassifiedStaffCodeofEthics1. Acknowledging that faculty and student sensitivities

need to be respected at all times, we must appreciate that remarks regarding gender, race, religion, ethnicity, physical or learning disability, or sexual orientation are appropriate only in an educational context.

2. We should always demonstrate both the substance and the appearance of propriety at all times regarding any gifts or other favors received from students, faculty, administrators, or the community.

3. Since classified staff are concerned with the welfare of faculty and students and since either one will at times wish to share information of a personal nature, classified staff must, for additional help and/or information, refer students to the college’s counseling center or Dean of Student Services;


and, refer faculty to their Dean or Vice President of Instruction.

4. Classified staff should never engage in or condone sexual harassment. In the professional context, the term “sexual harassment” may be used to describe a wide range of behavior. However, the fundamental element is the unwelcome personal attention by a classified member to any person, staff, faculty, or student.

5. Classified staff interaction with students and faculty should always take place in an appropriate setting.

6. If a staff member has a concern about a potential breach of this code of ethics, they should consult with their supervisor/manager.

Approved by the Folsom Lake College Classified Senate, February 2013.

Management’s Code of EthicsThe managers of Folsom Lake College shall serve the college community by facilitating the process of education through creating and maintaining an environment conducive to teaching, learning, supportive service and student success. Managers have a responsibility to exemplify the best qualities of the college and to observe the highest standards of personal and professional conduct. A manager at Folsom Lake College shall:1. demonstrate personal integrity in meeting their

professional responsibilities;2. be accountable for serving the interests of the college; 3. accord respect to self and others;4. strive to give fair and just treatment to all; 5. accept intellectual and moral responsibility for

their actions;6. aspire to achieve excellence; 7. avoid conflict or the appearance of conflict between

personal and institutional interests; 8. promote, support and implement diversity;9. encourage civil expression of one’s own views and

respect for the views of others; and10. exercise freedom of conscience and the right to

refuse to engage in actions that violate the ethical principles contained in this code or provisions of law.

Adopted by the Folsom Lake College Administration on March 12, 2008. Revised by the Folsom Lake College Management, March 2013.


Essential Elements of a High-Quality Education

FLC envisions an education system in which specific rights, obligations, and expectations for students and education providers will be clearly expressed, so that all participants in the educational process, including families, can understand and respond to them. These rights, obligations, and expectations would define what we consider to be the essential elements of high-quality teaching and learning to which all students and education providers should have access. Folsom Lake College proposes that these rights, obligations, and expectations be defined as follows:

Every student has the right to:• Be taught by a competent, fully qualified faculty

member;• Receive an education, including intervention when

necessary, that is sufficient to allow successful transition into the next levels of education and into the workforce;

• Be provided access to high-quality learning materials and resources, including textbooks and technologies that foster and support the knowledge and skills s/he is expected to learn;

• Receive counseling and academic advising to assist in successful educational progress and planning;

• Be in a clean, modern, and safe environment that is conducive to learning;

• Be provided with sufficient information regarding educational, economic, social, and political options to be able to make informed choices for his or her future; and

• Receive information about financial support for postsecondary education attendance.

Every student would be expected to:• Attend college regularly and participate in the

educational opportunities that are provided;• Commit to the level of effort needed to succeed;

and • Contribute to maintaining a safe, positive college

environment.The Los Rios Student Rights and Responsibilities document is based upon the following three fundamental concepts.

• College students, citizens of the United States, and foreign guests are members of the academic community.

• They have the same rights and freedoms that all citizens have as students, and must comply with federal and state laws and statutes.

• Students must also comply with Los Rios Board policies and individual college rules and regulations.

Use and Release of Student Information (FERPA)

The Los Rios Board of Trustees, in order to meet the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 and the Education Code, has established policies giving students and parents of dependent students access to certain designated records. A summary of the rights and procedures for access are contained in the Students Rights and Responsibilities section of the Los Rios Community College District Policy manual.

Student Rights and Responsibilities


Student Academic RightsThe classroom (including laboratories, field trips, independent study, etc.) is the essential part of any college where freedom to learn should flourish. The instructor has the responsibility for the manner of instruction and the conduct of the classroom. The instructor should not act in any way that denies the rights of students as set forth below:

1. In preparing student publications, the editorial staff and faculty advisors shall be free from censorship and advance copy approval except as provided by published district policy, statutes, or campus regulation. These publications should do the following:• Adhere to canons of responsible journalism,

such as avoidance of libel, indecency, undocumented allegations, attacks on personal integrity, and the techniques of harassment and innuendo.

• State on the editorial page that the opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the college or the student body.

2. Students shall have the right to take stands on issues, the right to examine and discuss questions of interest to them, and the right to support causes by orderly means which are in harmony with the regular functioning of the institution.

3. Students shall have the right to hear speakers on any subject and on-campus recognized student organizations shall have the right to present speakers on any subject. In addition, students shall have the right of free assembly on each campus subject to regulations that assure the regular functioning of the institution. The policies and regulations shall include reasonable provisions for the time, place, and manner of conducting these activities, but shall not prohibit the right of students to exercise free expression including, but not limited to, the use of bulletin boards, the distribution of printed materials or petitions, and the wearing of buttons, badges, and other insignia. Expression which is obscene, libelous, or slanderous according to current legal standards, or which so incites students as to create a clear and present danger of the commission of unlawful acts on college premises, or the violation of lawful District or college regulations, or the substantial disruption of the orderly operation of the college, shall be prohibited.

4. Students shall have the right to form an organization around any particular interest; this

right will include the freedom to organize and to join student organizations subject to published campus and District regulations.

5. Students shall have the right to be informed on all campus matters that can be shown to be directly relevant to them by having a voice in decision making that affects their academic future with the exception of staff appointment, termination, and tenure. In case of conflict in determining what campus matters are relevant to students, the determination will be made by a campus-designated student, faculty, and administrative committee. In addition, student representatives shall be members of all faculty and administrative committees related to students’ concerns; such student representatives shall have a vote as committee members.

6. Students shall have the right to have their academic records treated in a confidential and responsible manner with due regard to the personal nature of the information these records contain. Students’ records will be released only on the written consent of the students or as provided by law.

7. Students shall have the right to file a grievance as outlined in the procedures of the District Student Grievance Policy, in the event of an alleged breach of their rights. The designated Grievance Officer will hear grievances of students who believe their academic rights have been denied or violated.

Academic Integrity and Responsibility - Plagiarism and Cheating Policy

What academic integrity and responsibility are:Academic integrity and responsibility mean acting honestly, conscientiously, and most importantly, honorably in all academic endeavors. You are accountable for all that you say and write. Since trust is the foundation of an intellectual community, and since your work is the basis for your instructors to evaluate your performance in courses, you should not misrepresent your work nor give or receive unauthorized assistance.

What academic integrity and responsibility are not - academic dishonesty:In contrast to academic integrity and responsibility, academic dishonesty takes the form of plagiarism and/or cheating. From the Latin word plagiarius meaning kidnapper, plagiarism is generally the taking of words, sentences, organization, and ideas from another source without acknowledging the source(s).


Plagiarism can include:• Submitting papers, examinations, or assignments

written/completed entirely or in part by others;• Directly copying portions of another’s work

without enclosing the copied passage in quotation marks for written work or without citing appropriately in an oral presentation and without acknowledging the source in the appropriate scholarly convention whether the work is presented in written or oral form;

• Using a unique term or concept without acknowledging the source;

• Paraphrasing or summarizing a source’s ideas without acknowledging the source;

• Replicating a visual presentation, representation, or performance without acknowledging the source.

Another form of Academic Dishonesty - CheatingCheating is similar to plagiarism in that it involves representing another’s work as one’s own; however, cheating often involves more overtly deceptive or fraudulent acts of academic dishonesty designed to gain credit for academic work that is not one’s own. Cheating includes but is not limited to:• Giving or receiving unauthorized assistance during

an examination;• Fabricating or altering a source of data in a

laboratory or experiment;• Collaborating with others when collaboration is not

permitted, or when the contributions of others are not made clear;

• Using unauthorized materials or aids during an examination, including calculators, dictionaries, or information accessed via any electronic devices.

• Acquiring without permission, tests, or other academic material belonging to a member of the college faculty or staff.

What the consequences of plagiarism and cheating are:When plagiarism or cheating is suspected:• A faculty member has the right to choose whether

or not to pursue suspected cases of plagiarism and cheating.

• When reasonable evidence to suspect plagiarism or cheating exists the faculty member should notify the student of the concern.

• A faculty member may consult with other faculty, the pertinent Division Dean, and the college disciplinary officer when evaluating whether plagiarism or cheating has occurred.

Whenplagiarismorcheatinghasbeenconfirmed:In situations where plagiarism or cheating has been

confirmed, the faculty member will determine the consequences in compliance with Los Rios Community College District (LRCCD) Board policy and regulations. The consequences may include the following options:• Giving the student a written warning• Giving the student an additional assignment• Giving the student a zero or “F” on the assignmentOther appropriate consequences that comply with LRCCD Board policy and regulations, including suspension or expulsion per Board regulations, may be pursued if the faculty member has gone through the appropriate steps, including disciplinary referral (Reg. 2441, par. 3.2e).

Disciplinary Referral Process:• In situations where plagiarism or cheating has

occurred, the faculty member may notify the student that a “Referral for Student Standards of Conduct Violation” will be filed through the college disciplinary officer.

• In the event that a referral is made, students have the right to grieve the action if they believe the action violates their student rights as defined in Los Rios Community College District policy and regulations (P-2411, 2412; R- 2411, 2412). However, students should be aware that grievances relating to grades are subject to the conditions of Education Code 76224(a) and should consult the college catalog and district policies and regulations for further information.

• The office of the Vice President of Student Services will be responsible for maintaining records of reported cases of plagiarism and/or cheating.

Illegal Distribution of Copyrighted MaterialsFolsom Lake College students are prohibited from using the Los Rios Community College District (LRCCD) information network to illegally download or share music, video, and all other copyrighted intellectual property. The colleges of the LRCCD support the Higher Education Opportunity Act and Digital Millennium Copyright Act, including efforts to eliminate the illegal distribution of copyrighted material. Under the law, college administrators may be obligated to provide copyright holders with information about users of the LRCCD information network who have violated the law.

Be aware that illegal forms of downloading and file sharing as well as the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted materials are violations of the law and may subject you to academic sanctions from the college as well as criminal and civil penalties, including a lawsuit against you by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Learn more at www.campusdownloading.com In addition to being illegal, file sharing drains the LRCCD network’s bandwidth, which slows computer connections for students and employees who are using the network for legitimate academic purposes and ultimately costs the college money. LRCCD and its colleges have developed policies and consequences to ensure that students properly use the information LRCCD network and respect music and other forms of intellectual property as well as conduct responsible use of the Internet. Review these policies at www.losrios.edu/legal/Policies/P-8000/P-8000.htm and especially www.losrios.edu/legal/Policies/P-8000/P-8861.htm. There are plenty of easy, affordable ways to get music online legally. To protect their intellectual property, companies have licensed hundreds of digital partners that offer a range of legal downloading options, including download and subscription services, legitimate peer-to-peer services, video-on-demand, podcasts, and CD kiosks. For a list of sources that offer legal downloading sites, access www.riaa.com


CampusTrafficRegulationsThe college has posted both maximum speed limits and designated parking areas. It is the responsibility of all students, staff, and visitors to observe and honor these traffic regulations. All violators will be cited.

The issuance of a semester parking permit or daily parking ticket does not guarantee parking availability. The responsibility of finding a legal parking space rests with the motor vehicle operator. Lack of parking spaces on campus is not considered a valid reason for violation of Los Rios parking regulations and California Vehicle Code provisions. Vehicles displaying a valid parking permit may only park in spaces designated for student parking. A valid parking permit or valid daily parking ticket is required from 7:00am to 11:00pm Monday through Thursday, 7:00am to 5:00pm on Friday, and whenever classes are in session. Parking regulations will be enforced 24 hours a day, seven days per week (LRCCD-2252).

Safety Awareness and Crime PreventionSafety at Folsom Lake College is everybody’s business. Students, staff, and faculty are partners with the college in creating an atmosphere that is safe and encourages learning.

Folsom Lake College is a diverse community within a community. At the same time, the college is very much a part of the greater Sacramento metropolitan area and El Dorado County.

The college is a community center for lifelong learning through education, cultural, and recreational programs. Many community members visit and use the services the college offers seven days a week. The college strives to be accessible to the community and welcomes the use of its facilities.

No community, of course, can be totally risk-free in today’s society. Folsom Lake College and its centers strongly believe they have a major role in providing a safe learning environment, but, also, is realistic enough to recognize that students, staff, and faculty must come together in a strong partnership and use common sense precautions to reduce the opportunity for criminal/anti-social activities. Thefts, assaults, and other crimes happen at Folsom Lake College just as at many other college campuses.

To reduce the possibility that any student may be exposed to potential hazards, Folsom Lake College has taken many steps, described herein, to reduce whatever risks there may be. All of us can further reduce risks by thinking about personal safety and taking common sense precautions.

Safety programs at Folsom Lake College are under the direction of the Vice President of Administration. The college takes a proactive approach to campus safety that is best viewed as education, prevention, and the ability to respond to questionable events.

Safety EducationThe key to crime prevention is an awareness gained through education. At Folsom Lake College, the District Police Department, staff, faculty, and students work together and take responsibility for their own safety and are ready to help others in time of need.

The vast majority of incidents on college campuses can be avoided if the college population recognizes they are potential victims and take basic precautions, such as using the “buddy system” when walking at night, locking car doors, and not leaving valuables unattended. The District Police Department is available to meet with groups or individuals to discuss anti-crime tactics or any anti-social activities.

Folsom Lake College encourages the reporting of all crimes, even minor crimes, and any suspicious activity. The District Police Department would rather have a hundred unfounded calls of suspicious activities than miss one call when a crime is occurring. We need to know about crimes that occur. If we are not informed of a crime, we cannot advise and help students, faculty, and staff.

Crimes occurring on campus should be reported immediately to a District Police officer. When appropriate, District Police will contact the local law enforcement agency for assistance and/or to conduct an investigation. A District Police report will be made; a copy of the report may be made available to the reporting individual provided he/she is the victim of the crime. Officers may be contacted by telephone or by coming to the Police office located at the main Folsom campus in the Falcon’s Roost room # FR-140 or at the El Dorado Center in room B-128.

District Police: (916) 558-2221

Campus Safety and Security


PreventionThe college actively supports crime prevention through a number of programs. These include:• Emergency automobile assistance. While not

mechanics, District Police officers are equipped and trained to start cars with dead batteries or unlock non-electric car doors. Proper identification is required for the performance of these services.

• Firearms. Firearms are not permitted on campus except for professional law enforcement officers. Persons with firearms on campus will be subject to disciplinary action. (LRCCD Regulation 2441)

• Alcohol. Consumption of or being under the influence of alcohol while on campus is strictly prohibited. Violators are subject to suspension, expulsion, and/or criminal prosecution. (LRCCD Policy 2443)

• Emergency Telephones. Outdoor emergency telephones have been installed at strategic locations throughout the Folsom Lake College main campus. These phones, when accessed, will automatically connect the caller to the District Police Department.

• Illegal Drugs. Folsom Lake College is committed to being a drug-free campus. Violators will be subject to disciplinary procedures. The use, sale, or possession on campus of, or presence on campus under the influence of, any controlled substance is strictly prohibited. Violators are subject to suspension, expulsion, and/or criminal prosecution. (LRCCD Policy 2441 and 2443)

• Children on Campus. It is not appropriate for children to attend classes with their parents. All children on campus must be under the direct supervision of a parent, guardian, or other authorized adult. Unattended or disruptive children will be reported to the proper authorities.

• Parking. Remember that Folsom Lake College and El Dorado Center follow the same parking regulations as the City of Folsom, the Counties of Sacramento, and El Dorado. Vehicles not having a valid parking decal or daily ticket properly displayed will be issued a parking citation. There is a $283 fine for parking in designated disabled spaces (including hatch marks next to disabled spaces) without a state-issued disabled decal or plate.

• Students attending Rancho Cordova Center are reminded that parking is not allowed in spaces designated for other tenants in the business complex between 8:00am and 5:00pm. This is enforced through common courtesy and security patrol.

• Sexual Harassment. Sexual harassment in any situation is unacceptable and is in violation of state and federal laws and regulations. Corrective action will be taken where evidence of sexual harassment is found. (LRCCD Policy 2424).

District Police officers are also available to address classes about prevention of crime.

These offenses must be reported according to their occurrence in the following location categories:• Campus-campus property • Non-campus building or property-officially

recognized by Los Rios Community College District

• Public Property, reasonably contiguous to the campus

These statistics reflect the number of crime reports occurring in the above listed areas from both District Police and other Los Rios Community College District/ Folsom Lake College Campus Security Authorities (other than District Police) for the offense categories under The Clery Act of 1998. Although every effort has been made to avoid duplication between District Police and other official reports, individual incidents may be reported more than once within the same calendar year. Furthermore, some incidents reported to and by other College Officials

may not actually meet the criteria and guidelines set forth by The Clery Act for mandated reporting purposes.Criminal activities if any, at off-campus locations are required to be monitored and recorded through local police agencies. This is required under 20 USC 1092(f) The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act.

In cases of criminal activities at off-campus locations, the local agency will create a police report and case number for each incident, pursuant to their own procedures for recording criminal incident reports and using FBI Uniform Crime Reporting standards. LRPD/FLC shall request these statistics under Clery Act offense categories, for each location that meets the criteria for off-campus property.

For direct online access to the Annual Clery Report, go to: http://police.losrios.edu/pdf/annualcleryreport.pdf All statistics are also available in the District Police Office.


Course Numbering SystemFolsom Lake College has a standardized course numbering system described below. The numbers are designed to provide students with general information regarding the focus and intent of courses.

Transfer Credit – Courses accepted for transfer by the University of California (UC) and/or California State University (CSU) are listed with the course description and are identified under “course transferable to . . .” Students who have questions regarding transferability of credit for specific courses to specific institutions should consult with a counselor.

Course IdentificationNumberingSystem (C-ID) - The C-ID system is a statewide numbering system designed to identify comparable courses and facilitate articulation. Any community college course that bears a C-ID number signifies that it is equivalent in content, rigor, and student learning outcomes. Courses with C-ID numbers can be assured that it will be accepted at other participating community college or university campuses (only the CSU system is participating at this time). For example: C-ID COMM 110 at this college will be accepted by any other college that has been approved for the same C-ID COMM 110 number.

Students should consult a counselor for specific information and assistance with evaluating course transferability. In addition, students should always go to www.assist.org to confirm how each college’s course

will be accepted at a particular four-year college/university for transfer credit.

Prerequisites, Corequisites,

and AdvisoriesMany courses and educational programs have enrollment conditions such as prerequisites, corequisites, or advisories on recommended preparation. These faculty-approved conditions are considered necessary and appropriate to ensure that students are adequately prepared to succeed in the course or educational program. Enrollment restrictions are defined below. It is the student’s responsibility to meet any and all enrollment conditions.

• Prerequisite: A course that a student is required to take in order to demonstrate current readiness for enrollment in another course or educational program. For example, in order to take English 301 (College Composition & Literature), you must already have completed English 300 with a grade of C or better.

• Corequisite: A course that a student is required to take the same semester as another course. For example, the Basic Anatomy and Physiology Lab must be taken along with Basic Anatomy and Physiology.

• Advisory on recommended preparation: A condition of enrollment when a student is advised, but not required, to meet before or in conjunction with enrollment in a course or educational program. Students who believe they have satisfied the advisory by means other than the stated advisory are urged to consult with the appropriate department to determine their readiness to enroll in the course or educational program.

Verifying prerequisitesStudents enrolled in courses that have a prerequisite must provide verification to the instructor that they have met the prerequisite. Supporting evidence includes:• Los Rios Community College District transcript that

verifies that you have earned a “C” or better in the prerequisite course. Los Rios students may print

an unofficial transcript by logging on to eServices. Instructors have access to this information on their roster if the class was taken within Los Rios since 2003 (prior course information cannot be viewed).

• Los Rios Community College District Assessment test scores.

Verifying corequisitesYour personal class schedule provides verification of current enrollment in a corequisite course or your Los Rios Community College District transcript shows prior completion of a course.

Prerequisite challenge process• If you do not have the credentials described above

but believe that you should qualify to enroll in the course, or one of the conditions below exists, then you may challenge a prerequisite.

• Challenges must be filed no later than the end of the first week of instruction. Prerequisite Challenge Forms are available at all instructional area deans’ offices, at the Admissions and Records Office, and online.

Criteria for challenging a course are:Students who have not met the criteria outlined above but feel they are prepared to enroll in the course may challenge the course prerequisite by completing the Prerequisite Challenge Application form.

geographygeography is the science of place and space. geographers study the relationships among geographic places, natural systems, society, cultural activities, and the interdependence of all these over space.

There are two main branches of geography: human geography and physical geography. Human geography is concerned with the spatial aspects of human existence – how people and their activities are distributed in space, how people use and perceive space, and how people create and sustain the places that make up earth’s surface. Physical geographers study the physical elements and spatial processes that make up and shape the environment, including energy, air, water, weather, climate, landforms, soils, animals, plants, etc.

geographers also study the linkages between human activity and natural systems. geographers were, in fact, among the first scientists to sound the alarm that human-induced changes to the environment were beginning to threaten the balance of life itself. geographers today are active in the study of global warming, desertification, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, groundwater pollution, flooding, sustainability, and more.

The Folsom Lake College geography program offers courses that satisfy lower division general education requirements in both the physical and social sciences. Students planning to transfer to a four-year school with a major in geography should consult the lower division requirements at the university they plan to attend.

geologyDEGREE aS— geology

geology is the study of the origin and evolution of the earth, utilizing the principles of mathematics, chemistry, physics and biology. The concept of geologic time and the principles of uniformitarianism help geologists to understand the processes that shape the earth and its environments. geologists study rocks, minerals and fossils in an effort to draw conclusions about both the earth’s observable surface processes that meet the eye, and the earth’s interior.

many of the Folsom Lake College geology courses satisfy lower division general education requirements for the aa, aS, B.a., and B.S. degrees. geology majors planning to Transfer to four-year institutions should see a counselor.

DEGREE aS — medical Laboratory Technician (mLT)

The medical Laboratory Technician Program at Folsom Lake College is designed to prepare students to qualify for and pass the National medical Laboratory Technician Licensing exam. The Folsom Lake College mLT Program is accredited by the California department of Public Health (CdPH), Laboratory Field Services (LFS) and is in “serious candidate status” for NaaCLS (National accrediting agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences) http://www.cdph. ca.gov/programs/lfs/Pages/default.aspx.

The mLT Program includes aspects of didactic and clinical training to prepare students to step into functioning medical laboratories, either in a hospital or research lab setting. The Program has robust prerequisites and is intended to equip completers to execute any aspect of their profession both within and outside California. Not only will this approach prepare students for possible career advancement later, it will also result in the best possible preparation for a career as an mLT. For more detailed information related to the Program, students should consult the current version of the mLT Program Handbook available via the mLT Program website: http://www.flc.losrios.edu/academics/medical-laboratory-technician

Successful completion of the mLT Program requirements and general education graduation requirements of Folsom Lake College qualify the student for an aS degree in medical Technology. Program completers are eligible to sit for the national mLT licensing exam administered by the american Society for Clinical Pathology (aSCP). once a passing score on the aSCP National exam is achieved, graduates can apply for both State and National mLT Licensure. To be eligible for enrollment in the program or in individual medTeC courses, the student must meet the following criteria:• Complete the application process for enrollment

in the mLT program (specific information available on the mLT Program website).

• Fulfill all requirements set forth by the MLT student application guidelines including but not limited to: background clearance, physical examination, immunization clearance and drug screening. Students are subject to a background check and drug test to ensure that the student will ultimately be eligible for licensure as an mLT after successful Program completion.

• all students must have completed all program pre-requisites with a grade of “C” or better and have a minimum grade point average in those pre-requisite courses of 2.50; see available online information for more details.

The Program is designed to prepare the student for licensure, for employment, and to participate as a member of a health care team. as part of the Program, students will be placed in an operating medical laboratory as an intern in their final semester of Program residence. Completers of the Program will have demonstrated consistently professional, safe, and ethical practice.

Students admitted to the Program are responsible for providing a lab coat, laboratory fees (as applicable), malpractice insurance (available through the College to Program participants), minor necessary equipment, and transportation to off-campus locations. all costs/fees are subject to change.

Career OptionsThe role of the medical Laboratory Technician is to perform routine laboratory analyses that are involved in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. Program completers that successfully pass the National licensing exam and receive state licensure will be eligible to work in hospitals and research laboratories in California. it should be noted that passing the aSCP national license exam meets a requirement for state licensure, but does not itself grant state licensure. only the State of California can grant state mLT licensure; which must be obtained in order to work as a mLT in the state. Likewise, should a graduate wish to receive

Work experience (Co-op) education

Cooperative Work experience education (Co-op) is a unique, experiential, academic program that allows individuals to apply what they’ve learned in the classroom to a work environment. upon completion of their Co-op experience, students may earn 1-4 units of transferable credit with a letter grade. Co-op serves: College interns, volunteers, and employees. it is also one of several Living Skills graduation requirements for an associate degree.

Co-op Internships and Opportunitiesinternships and volunteer experiences provide an opportunity for students to obtain work experience in their major. This activity assists students to develop technical skills, explore career choice, build confidence, network with people in the field, and transition for entry into a competitive labor market.

interested students must apply two or more weeks before classes start and are required to take a weekly one hour career management class. College credit is earned and internships may be paid or non-paid.

EmployeesCo-op also assists our busy employed students who are interested in advancing within their existing work environment. Through Co-op and the approval of the student’s employer supervisor, students can apply what they have learned in the classroom to their job.

College credit is earned.

How the Program WorksThere are two types of Co-op Programs: Vocational and general.

Vocational Work Experience (298/498) provides students with opportunities to develop or add marketable skills related to their vocational study programs. *

Eligible students must:• Be working in a paid job, internship, or volunteer

opportunity. Students not currently in an internship opportunity who would like assistance

should contact the Cooperative Work experience Education Office. Students must have a cooperating employer by the end of the third week of the semester, first week of a nine week, or summer session to remain in the program.

• With employer’s assistance, establish new or expanded on-the-job skills that will be documented.

• attend a one-hour weekly career management class or qualify for the “Returning Co-op Student” status. However, attendance is required for everyone for the first orientation session.

• Register for 1, 2, 3, or 4 units. one unit of credit may be earned for each 75 hours of paid work experience or for 60 hours of unpaid experience. a total of 16 units may be earned in Vocational Work experience.

• Students working in their college majors and taking, or have taken a course in that area, should enroll in that area’s work experience class (e.g. - a sales clerk should enroll in BuS 498).*

* interested students may earn college credit in the following majors:

accounting administration of Justice Business Communications media Computer information Science dance early Childhood education environmental Technology Fire Technology gerontology Human Services Kinesiology management marketing music - Specializations in music Nutrition Photography Theatre arts
